McKesson Capacity Planner

Do you struggle to make effective use of your emergency, operations and inpatient staff and beds? Does over- or under-staffing lead to increased costs? Instead of relying on traditional staffing models, let predictive analytics accurately match your resources with patient demand – and improve your operational, financial and clinical performance.

With increasing emphasis on financial and operational excellence, as well as delivering high-quality patient care, health systems need predictive analytics to accurately match resources with patient demand while enabling staff to deliver excellent standards of patient care. Relying on traditional staffing and utilization models, many health systems are struggling to make effective use of emergency, operations and inpatient staff and beds, leading to over- or under-staffing, inefficient patient flow and increased costs.

Getting the right physicians, nursing and professional staff in place, in the right facility with the appropriate materials – all are essential to reach operational, financial and patient care goals.
